boxe: canelo domine munguia aux points et conserve son titre unifié des super-moyens

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez

La superstar de la boxe a tenu son rang. Le Mexicain Saul “Canelo” Alvarez a conservé son titre unifié des super-moyens en battant nettement aux points son compatriote Jaime Munguia, samedi à Las Vegas (Etats-Unis).

“Canelo”, âgé de 33 ans, a mis Munguia à terre lors de la 4e reprise, et a infligé à son jeune adversaire (27 ans) sa première défaite en 44 combats, par décision unanime des juges. Alvarez a ainsi enregistré la 61e victoire de sa longue carrière, débutée en 2005, pour deux nuls et deux défaites.

“Je ne pense pas être le meilleur boxeur de l’histoire, mais je suis le meilleur en ce moment”

“J’ai pris mon temps, je suis expérimenté. Jaime est un grand combattant, fort, intelligent, mais j’ai su prendre mon temps, j’avais les douze rounds pour gagner ce combat, et j’ai très bien boxé”, a commenté le champion à la barbe rousse, qui reste le maître incontesté des super-moyens dont il détient les quatre ceintures depuis novembre 2021. “Je ne pense pas être le meilleur boxeur de l’histoire, mais je suis le meilleur en ce moment c’est certain”, a ajouté celui qui a perdu pour la dernière fois contre le Russe Dmitry Bivol en mai 2022 dans la catégorie supérieure. La T-Mobile arena de Las Vegas, aux couleurs mexicaines, était partagée entre les deux champions, pour ce combat disputé la veille du “Cinco de Mayo” (5 mai), importante fête pour la communauté mexicaine aux Etats-Unis, qui commémore la victoire de l’armée mexicaine contre l’armée française le 5 mai 1862.
